Many of the more disruptive enterprise and IoT mobile services will be built around edge technologies such as ETSI’s Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), which envisages tight integration with mobile networks (perhaps even to the extent of collocating small cells and mini-servers). Qualcomm has tapped into the trend with the launch of Wireless Edge Services, which provide security and management capabilities on-chip for large-scale IoT deployments. The suite of services will provide on-chip software which will enable enterprises or cloud service providers to provision, connect and manage the lifecycle of IoT devices from their cloud platforms. The software will be exposed through new APIs (application programming interfaces) which will be available later this year on certain Qualcomm chipsets – initially the…
